Book review: The documentary film book edited by Brian Winston

Abstract

"The Documentary Film Book." Brian Winston (ed). British Film Institute/ Palgrave. October 2013. --- The Documentary Film Book presents a series of essays in one volume where key international scholars come together to offer compelling evidence as to why, over the last few decades, documentary has come to the centre of screen studies. While there is much historical revisionism in the book, there is also much to interest those more focussed on the contemporary, writes Fiona Chesterton.
